  1. [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1324334055' post='1473245'] As others have said, I keep my ring and pinkie fingers tucked in towards the palm, where they are out of the way. I'd recommend that you practice alternating your index and middle fingers. Practice VERY SLOWLY at first, paying close attention to keeping the ring and pinkie relaxed and tucked in towards the palm. Spend five to ten minutes doing this exercise as part of your practice routine. At first, your ring and pinkie fingers probably wont do what you want, but with a little time, patience and perseverance they will learn what is expected of them. While we are on the subject of R/H technique, I hope you dont mind my giving you some extra advice. I notice that you rest your thumb on the pick up. Granted, a lot of bassists do so, but it can lead to wrist or hand problems at a later time, because the wrist is at an awkward angle. You may like to check out the link below.

Bottom right is one called Anthony Jackson bass solo, my hero, only young in this and playing a 4 string, xmas has just come early for me.

  3. I think you will find anyone with half a brain would die for this. It's a shame you don't want a Fender though.

Open to offers of course, buyer pays for postage Up for grabs a [color=#FF0000]Fender[/color] [color=#FF0000]American[/color] [color=#FF0000]Deluxe[/color] [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] Bass [color=#FF0000]5[/color] String 2009 model. Great all round bass, good for finger style and slap etc. Full range of sounds with the awesome dual-coil Samarium Cobalt Noiseless [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] pickups. Owned bass from new about 2 years ago. Hardly gigged Couple of very light belt buckle marks on rear of body. Includes original [color=#FF0000]Fender[/color] case. Have made a few adjustments, but totally changeable to original in about [color=#FF0000]5[/color] minutes. Added stick on block markers and neck side LED's. This is the black wire on neck. (On/Off switch has fallen off needs double sided tape to stick back on, but works fine) As I say no permanent alterations made to bass. Have included a stock image with pictures, to show how bass looks without my extras. This is the picture with the white background. Select alder body Graphite-reinforced maple neck with modern C shape and a satin polyurethane finish Rosewood fingerboard 9-1/2" radius 22 medium-jumbo frets Chrome-plated hardware [b]String Spacing adjustable at bridge See Image.[/b] 9mm at Nut.

Lite-Bass tuners with vintage cloverleaf keys 2 dual-coil Samarium Cobalt Noiseless [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] pickups Master volume and pan pot for pickup switching 3-band active EQ 18 volt Pre-Amp Welcome to come and try. Great to play and great classic [color=#FF0000]Jazz[/color] sounds and so much more. Bass only ever been played for a short contract on a cruise ship, the sound engineers loved mixing my sound far more than the 4 string Wal I started the contract with (I needed 5 strings for the gig).

  6. Hang on in there mate. Withdrew mine as I will be out of the country, and would you Adam and Eve it bass is now sold, if it had been 24 hours later deal wouldn't have happened.
  7. Made Corrections to Come Back And Stay - Paul Young Added Everytime You Go Away - Paul Young Over 2,500 views and only a few comments. Would be nice to receive some feed back even if it was to point out any mistakes. My Dropbox is now full, if I had more space have more files plus would post the PDF's. Anybody willing to help?
  8. Just withdrawn my post so have another bump for such a fine bass.
  9. Final bump at this price before I remove until the New Year
  10. Thought it only fair I should return the bump you gave me. I will be removing my post in a couple of days, fingers crossed you have more luck than me.
  11. It seems that some folks dont know the meaning of Final. To that end I will from now on ignore any PM's which ask me to drop my price below my [i][u][b]Final[/b][/u][/i] asking Price of £700.00 plus postage. I know it is the season of good will but I am not prepared to lesson the value of such a fine example of a MM any more, not even as much as 1p. If I need to repost bass in the New Year I will be raising my asking price back to its original.
  12. [quote name='Matt_UK' timestamp='1322697940' post='1454782'] Ahh mate, feel for you! Keep the price as it is, its easily worth what you're asking - definitely the market. I'm sure there are many that would buy if only they could sell theirs - I know I'd be in there like a shot! [/quote] Cheers mate, good to see you back again. In no need of the cash for the bass, just a huge shame for it to be confined to a case for the rest of its days.
  13. By no means a self bump, as already on top. Nearly 3000 views (6 short) and only offers I have had are insults. Please read my post before sending PM. Many thanks and a Merry Xmas to all my readers.
  14. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1322658607' post='1454013'] Holy cow. Talk about shameless. [/quote] Never knew so few could pee me off so much. In fairness though the worst was a foreigner who seemed to say I will send say E800.00 post to me now, a demand not an offer. Lost in Translation a tad. Another local Welsh tw*t even said I have money, how much do you want to offer. Too much time with sheep me thinks. With almost 3000 views, I am not really sure if it is a good time to sell or I am asking far less than folks would expect. While I give myself a side step bump need to point out I will be pulling the bass next week and wont be putting up again well into the New Year, I have made it clear I am in no rush to move. I am off to the States for a short break [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/158180-bringing-in-a-bass-from-the-states/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] and just can't see me being home in time to catch the xmas post. Most likely what I buy bass wise will reflect a new asking price. Had an offer to buy, pay deposit now pay remainder a week Friday, sods law, will be away then so cant post. It does seem I maybe destined to keep this beauty.
  15. Hi, welcome to BC. Really need to more info ie. FS/FT, condition, more images, location etc. Seems to be a glut of Stingrays on here at the moment so just a hot shot of you playing is not gonna work, unless of course you come with it?
  16. [quote name='wal4string' timestamp='1322552785' post='1452354'] Been asked the lowest I will be willing to drop. So after much thought and not wishing to de-value such a fine example, my final price is now £700.00 plus postage. As stated can deliver within reason if cost of fuel is shared. [/quote] This is a firm price, so please no more asking for me to lower it more.
